I know what you mean Festive. I recall a few things that seem like yesterday and Halloween is absolutely one of them. I also remember snowflake saying on September 1 "Happy Bers" and how exciting it was that we were in to the best months of the year. Where has 4 months gone? But I tell you the amazing fun we've had these last 4 months makes you realize the last third of the year is still by far the best time of year. Merry Christmas!

The best thing is counting down with all of you :) My Christmas is al the better for it!

Good evening,

My Christmas vacation is finally here, 3:30 came and I had such a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. We have a lot to do to get ready for our family gathering here on Christmas Eve, so we will be very busy the next day and a half.
I hope you all had a great Tuesday.
Goodnight, everyone.

Our gathering takes place in my parents home. I just made two batches of different flavoured fudge. One is candied fudge with a hint of pumpkin and cinnamon spices with candied gumdrops and the other kind is chocolate caramel - my husband's favourite. I'm also on dip duty so I picked up all the things that can be dipped to go along with my creamy salsa dip and my country style dip for the Christmas Eve visitors. I use the centre of a round pumpernickle loaf to serve the country style dip in and have a "Norman Rockwell" style serving platter for the treats.

I picked up the Peanuts holiday disposable plates; I couldn't resist them.

There's so much fudge, I've decided to pack up a few in festive boxes to pass out to the guests who help light the annual luminaries along withsome Christmas cookies in festive zipped bags.

Enjoy your vacation and your Christmas festivities.

Everything sounds so delicious & festive & fun!!! Enjoy every minute!!!
 
Merry Christmas Eve Eve, my Christmas friends!

I've been working like crazy around here, trying to get comfortable with being out next week. Things almost never hit the fan until I'm on vacation. LOL

We had the Bernie's Store party last night, and had a blast!! Bernie makes the BEST 1/2 lb. cheeseburger (he calls it the Bernie Burger) in the state! I blew my beef diet budget for the quarter, but it was worth it LOL.

I hope y'all have a great day! :D

Merry Christmas Eve Eve MMC! Just working today and have to run out later and grab a couple gift cards. I cannot believe this weather...too warm but I keep my Christmas music on to keep me in the spirit. Enjoy your day! View attachment 17710

My husband and I haven't bought each other gifts the last few years because we give to others and on Boxing Day or shortly thereafter we go out and buy what we wished for, but didn't receive. Well, he was going on about not knowing what to wear and wishing he had a warm top that was dressy, yet casual so he could wear his black jeans instead of dress pants. So, I caved early and gave him his surprise Christmas gift. He's quite pleased with it; I love it, it's warm and snuggly and the material feels like icing sugar. So, he ventured off in search of something for me. I told him I only wanted a gift card for David's Tea so I could go and pick out what I want. He doesn't know that I have two other gifts wrapped up for him.

My brother isn't arriving until tomorrow morning and wants me to chauffeur him around so he can finish his shopping. I'm glad I'm finished my shopping and I can just watch the frenzy without worry.

I had Christmas music playing while I wrapped gifts yesterday and this morning and while I was making fudge.

Hey, enough of that! Nobody calls a friend of mine a turd, not even you!!
Seriously, it's okay to be human and forget. You check in with MMC every day of the year---we know how you feel about us! And I hope you know I consider you a friend.

It has really flown by this year, each morning when I change my countdowns in the house, I can't believe another day has passed already.
Hallmark is also showing commercials for their regular programming. Too soon!

I agree! I've been annoyed in the past week by "Before Christmas After-Christmas" sales! C'mon, let the day pass first!
